Spacious 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom unit available now for an annual lease within the gated Villagio Condominiums, close to downtown Sarasota. This bright first-floor condo is tucked quietly in the back of the building and offers a peaceful setting. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming living/dining area with crown molding and large sliding glass doors that fill the space with natural light and open up to your private, covered lanai. The kitchen features plenty of storage and a breakfast bar, perfect for entertaining. A dedicated laundry room off the kitchen with your own washer and dryer, along with a convenient office/storage nook, makes daily organization easy. The primary bedroom includes a generous walk-in closet, and the bathroom offers dual access from both the bedroom and the main living area. You'll love the updated bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower and a new vanity with granite countertops. The unit was freshly painted and there is laminate flooring throughout the living spaces and carpet in the bedroom and office nook. The Villagio is ideally located just minutes from downtown Sarasota, shopping, beautiful Gulf beaches, and major routes including 301, I-75, and public transportation. Community amenities include a heated resort-style pool, tennis court, playground, and fitness center. Rent is set at $1,600/month (utilities not included) and move in requirements are first month’s rent and a security deposit equal to one month’s rent. The Villagio charges $100 per adult for the application fee. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed, and it is a non-smoking unit.
